R26.R vs GT3RS

[Justin]

Quite a good video, he says the GT3 wasn't fully going for it on the straights, but around the corners, the R26.R was definately better

Hope its not a repost

This R26R has also done a 7.59 BTG with Dale driving as well.

Was a large thread on this vid when Dale posted it on Northloop.

 

[Justin]

How much do they charge to hire one out for the day?

I'd never buy an R. but would love a shot in one!

 

[Waitey]

Dale is a god.

I remember him hooning round in his MX-5

 

[jamesp24]

Good vid,well half of it that dreadful music was giving me ear ache lol

Surely the megane wouldn't get any where close to the porsche if it was giving it some?

 

[jon_r]

No, especially with Ron driving the Porsche. lol, Bye.

Got Dale to take me out in that or one of the R26.Rs they had when I was over there last month, fooking amazing driver! Really shows how much faster having talent makes you!

 

[Marky_]

I did think "f*ck off, lol" when i saw the thread title.

 

[jon_r]

You are doing well to even get through the barriers with Dale in the car these days. Nightmare.

I would have thought driver talent in the 911 would have made light work of the Megane imo ?

 

[Jamie86]

Did he say at the start it's Ron drving the GT3?

 

[Gally]

Both pretty good vid but if anyone says they would rather a megane over the porker they're kidding themselves.

Wasn't on about the video really, just my experience.

Thanks for posting this up.

Just booked an R26.R for the Nurburgring a week this Friday through RSR, and did it through Dale.. weird timing!

Tried to get a RHD Clio 197 but it was booked out so thought... stuff it I'll just get the Megane (which is RHD - they offered me the LHD 197 but I thought I'd treat myself). I've BTDT trying to drive a LHD manual and smacking my left hand off the door each time you go to change gear. Didn't fancy any problems like this when I'm on the Nurburgring...

I'd probably have driven over in the 172 but the recently fitted K-tec stealth booming for that length of time just wasn't appealing!

 

[Peperami]

Great video that.

 

[Seedy172]

Good video that, surely the porker would have abit more to give than that... still enjoyable though. Great driving in the 26R

 

[Clart]

great driving, music is annoying as hell though

 

[the1]

Have a lookie at 3:40 seconds in lol... My ass, he weren't tryin nearly had the tail out.

 

[jamier27]

so whos this dale guy (sorry)

 

[gaz44]

Cool video but the Porsche would easily take the Meg. It would corner as well as the Meg, if not better and be as good on the brakes. Straights - bye bye! Good to see the circa £26k Renault mixing it with the circa £100k supercars though!

The Meg must surely be the best front-wheel drive, drivers' car to date?

The megane was definately better in the corners?? In the video maybe but a decent driver in the GT3 RS and it would absolutely ruin the megane. Im not dismissing the megane at all as it is a fabulous car but a GT3RS in the right hands is in a simply different league!!
GT3RS with decent driver and a rematch please

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

:slap:

Then Pauls megane, such a nice boy is Pauly

xxx lol

 

[gaz44]

Disagree. Only thing better or bigger is the power. Doesn't make for a better drivers car. Day to day car - yes.

 

[Ian_182]

On the corners there actually quite close,but the straght line 0-100 times of the GT would show the meg a clean pair of heals.

Good video though,it actually shows the cornering ability of the meg with a nigh on supercar....

Thank christ everyones allowed an opinion otherwise you would have us all in 172 Cups

 

[Fletcher]

Good video.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Where is everyone getting that the Megane is faster in the corners?

From where I'm sat it looked like whenever the Porka went for it, it just walked away. And it would tbh. A GT3 RS is a SERIOUS weapon.

The GT3RS has one of the best drivers you're ever likely to see driving it.

LOL @ ClioSport. Only on here could everybody argue over something which was made clear in the original post.

Dale driving the Megan works for Ron (who owns RSR) and is driving the Porsche

Dale's own site.

FYI that Porsche is approx 30 secs quicker than the R26r

I would?

Actually, you are right. When I rule the country, you will not have a choice.

Really, where did that come from? I don't even have a Cup. I was just trying to justify what I think about the Meg.

You obviously haven't been in a proper argument. This is mere chat.

Not my words, just quoting the video description

 

[Gaz.]

So Dale runs BTG?

 

[jon_r]

The website? Yes.

I'd like to see several laps one after the other the Porker would destroy the Meg.
GT3 is probably the best car for the ring, everything is designed for endurance not just one lap

 

[jon_r]

Well within 15/16 laps or 2 hrs the Megan would be lapped.
